Detailed Solution

Buffer Stock and PDS are factors of the food security system.
Food security is defined as the constant availability, affordability, and accessibility of food for all people. Buffer Stock and the Public Distribution System are the two primary elements of the food security system (PDS). The government purchases food grains like wheat and rice for buffer stock through the Food Corporation of India. To provide food grains to those who cannot afford them in the parts of the nation with a food shortage where prices are often high, the government builds up a buffer stock of food grains. PDS is a system where the food the FCI purchases is given to the underprivileged members of society through ration stores under government control.
